Your Big Stack on the bubble in a 50/50 \
The donks push with any two cards
Best strategy?

You're the big stack in a SnG...you have aces?

"the donks push with any two cards" - You mean they are short stacked and need to start pushing with pritty much any two anyway so when you pick up aces and they push, this is like the most ideal situation.

You're asking if you should call their all-in or push? Either one and you have them covered anyway so wont make a difference if you shove, you get your other chips back o_O Evidently you're shoving aces all day aren't you even on the bubble with a big stack. Can't see how it's not profitable doing so..

You're the big stack, 3 are all-in and your stack size won't allow you to bust, I don't understand why you're asking this. You have the great possibility to bust all three of them. Worse case scenario one of the "donks" as you put it, will quadruple up. Two are still out and you still have a playable stack size.

Let the donks kill each other off unless you have a major hand

the last thing you want is to double a couple of the up and lose a chunk of your stack in the process

I totally agree with that. The time is running for you. I would only play strong hands and bet differently to get the most value for them.

3 donks pushing with max 1600 chips and you got bullets and 5000 chips !

thats your 1600 to get about 6K !
better as 3-1 with bullets is a instant push for me !
why ? you got best hand and can eliminate 3 players with great odds !
even if get sucked out you loose 2 players and still got good stack !

All in. It is verry unlikely that will be a split there and more than one will survive and also it is verry unlikely that 2 of them will be better than you with the shortest stack being the best witch will only assure you the 5th place paid.
You are instantly in the money and you have a verry big chance to take them all out .
If you loose one of them will be the big stack chips but you paid just 1/3 of your stack to get ITM at least 4th place . The goal at SNGs is first be paid to make profit and then aim for the first place if possible.
